My nurse says it help because producing milk makes up burn up calories but i guessing depending on a woman and how there body is. i have a friend she she was looking better than other girls with no babies in her bikini top at the lake a week or two after giving birth and just breastfeeding lol.

It can, but it can also actually stall weight loss for some women.   I was one of those unlucky people, I lost weight up to a certain point, but then couldnt loose anymore until I stopped.
